ing in radiant health and spiri!s. The En-.
gliBh climate agrees with him admirably.
Mr.. Blaine was not disposed to criticise
the jubilee performances, as he was occu.
pying the delicate postion Of a guest In
England, but he said that 1t did seem
strange that out Of the fifty years OF pro-
gress made by England in the arts and
aciences, In the growth Of manufactures
and Industries which had resulted in tho
increased employment OF millions Of work
ingmen, that there should be uelectsd for
the street parade representatives Of the one
institution which had not made a
single stop In advance for 80 years, viz,
royalty. 1t WAS, therefore, in his judg.

tor lack Of the representative quality. The
parade Of nominal sovereign with long
escort Of petty princes and rulers did not,
in his judgment, make a pageant Of an
impressive character. 1t did not deserve
for one moment to be mentioned in COM
parison with the Bunker Hill Centennial
celebration Eparade in 1875. There every
form Of industry and progress during the
century had Its representation In the
splendidly omblematical line.

HOW ANTS LIVE.

III spite Of the multfarious duties and
tasks that arc imposed on these tiny
burglars, they still !ind timo to clean
and adOrn their wo:thy little persons,
says writer in tbs CO@m0pDi'tu0. No
spot, no atom Of dust or anything else
unclcanly will they tolerate on their
bodies. They get rid Of the dirt with
the brushy tufts on their feet or with
their tongue. They act, for all the
world, like domestic cats when they
clean and lick themselves; and they as
Si&t ono another ut the toilet precisely
like monkeys. Their sense OF clranli-
ness goes SO far that the naturalist often
finds, 10 his unpleasant surprise, the
colOrcd ma; ks that he had applied with
50 much care on his "lrial ants rc-
l"0vcd by their drt-hatlng friends
They keep their dwelling just us clCanly.
